Why is it important to use thermochemical calorie in this conversion?

Because the conversion is defined specifically for thermochemical calorie (th), using other calorie definitions can result in inaccuracies.

Can this converter be used for non-steady-state heat flux measurements?

No, the conversion assumes steady-state heat flux and accurate area measurement, so non-steady-state data may not be suitable.

What industries commonly use this conversion?

HVAC engineering, building energy analysis, material science, thermal insulation testing, and physiological heat flux studies are typical fields applying this conversion.
